Description:

Identify parts of a computer

Apply troubleshooting steps to a scenario

In this assignment, we look at the geography of a typical (for now) motherboard and examine the anatomy of a running computer. This is a very basic overview for this Logic and Troubleshooting class. Future classes will go much further in-depth.

Then, we look at applying the troubleshooting steps as outlined in the class. Of particular interest to my students, I give an explanation of what is expected in written assignments.
